Lyrics
0:16The life I've always wanted
0:18I guess I'll never have
0:20I'll be working for somebody else
0:23Until I'm in my grave
0:25I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
0:28And mountains Oh mountains o' things
0:36To have a big expensive car
0:39Drag my furs on the ground
0:41And have a maid that I can tell
0:44To bring me anything
0:47Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
0:51I'll revel in their attention
0:54And mountains Oh mountains o' things
1:02Sweet lazy life
1:04Champagne and caviar
1:07I hope you'll come and find me
1:10Cause you know who we are
1:13Those who deserve the best in life
1:15And know what money's worth
1:18And those whose sole misfortune
1:20Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
1:27Oh they tell me
1:30There's still time to save my soul
1:33They tell me
1:38Renounce all
1:41Renounce all those material things you gained by
1:46Exploiting other human beings
1:53Consume more than you need
1:57This is the dream
1:59Make you pauper
2:02Or make you queen
2:04I won't die lonely
2:06I'll have it all prearranged
2:09A grave that's deep and wide enough
2:11For me and all my mountains o' things
2:19Oh they tell me
2:21There's still time to save my soul
2:24They tell me
2:29Renounce all
2:32Renounce all those material things you gained by
2:37Exploiting other human beings
2:46Mostly I feel lonely
2:55Good good people are
2:59Good people are only
3:02My stepping stones
3:05It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
3:09To surround me
3:15Keep all my enemies away
3:21Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
3:30The life I've always wanted
3:33I guess I'll never have
3:35I'll be working for somebody else
3:38Until I'm in my grave
3:40I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
3:43And mountains
3:44Oh mountains o' things
3:50I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming
3:56Dreaming
4:00I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming
4:06Dreaming
4:10I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming
4:17Dreaming
4:20I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming
4:26Dreaming
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings Mostly I feel lonely Good good people are Good people are only My stepping stones It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming Dreaming I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming Dreaming I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming Dreaming I'll be dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming dreaming Dreaming
